Abstract:
      The unsteady stagnation point flow of fractional Oldroyd-B fluid through a stretched wedge in porous media is studied.Momentum equation is established based on the constitutive model of fractional Oldroyd-B fluid,in which the characteristics of buoyancy and stagnation point flow are introduced.The modified fractional Fourier's law considering thermal relaxation-retardation time is proposed,which applies in both the energy equation and the boundary conditions of convective heat transfer.The finite difference method integrated with L1-algorithm is utilized to address the governing fractional equations.The influence of various parameters on flow analyzed.The results show that the velocity rises with the increase of wedge angle parameter m and Darcy number.The temperature distribution first increases slightly but then declines significantly,which presents the thermal retardation characteristic of Oldroyd-B fluid.
